In Roy Mackal’s book, Searching for Hidden Animals
(NY: Doubleday, 1980), his last chapter is entitled “The
Monstrous Plants.” It was not about cryptozoology, needless
to say, but about cryptobotany, being a short treatise on the
Victorian accounts of man-eating plants. It wasn't until Charles
Darwin's analysis that the idea of carnivorous plants was accepted
by the mainstream scientific community. However, the idea of
carnivorous plants appeared in many cultures prior to Darwin's
analysis, most notably as the carnivorous Tree. A Man-Eating
Tree or Carnivorous Tree can refer to any of the many
legendary or cryptozoological carnivorous plants that are large
enough to kill and consume a person or other large animal. In
actuality, the carnivorous p…

Pokémon (ポケモン/poh-kay-mon) is a media franchise owned by
The Pokémon Company, which is run by the GameFreak company. The
games based on it are powered on Nintendo devices. It was created
by Satoshi Tajiri in 1995. It is centered around fictional
creatures called "Pokémon", which humans capture and train to fight
each other for sport.

Many Pokémon were actually inspired by Japanese
cryptozoology.

Two classic examples of Pokémon inspired by Japanese
cryptozoology include Dunsparce: a Pokémon based on the Tsuchinoko,
and Exeggutor: a Pokémon based on the Jinmenju.

For almost a year, I've been working on a short film that
attempts to bring the world of Pokemon life. This non-profit fan
production is currently in it’s final stages of post-productio…

The most bizarre creatures to ever live might not be found in
our deepest oceans, but high in the sky. In the 1600s, the
Iroquois nations spoke of powerful entities known as the
flying heads. One version of the story stated that the heads
caused an immensely severe winter, that killed off plants and drove
the moose and deer to other areas. Believed to be covered in long,
flowing, fire like hair these demons were believed to fly through
the air.

Strange tales of these creatures don’t end in ancient legend,
however. The Flying Head legend survives, but the name of the tribe
who invented it is gone, lost to time. The hill where the unknown
tribe's village was located, is considered cursed. Three different
hotels were built on the sacred site and …

The pilot, Vampires of the Cursed Town has finally been
completed! That was a lot of time and effort.

I enjoyed working on this project, though it was tiring at
times.

A pilot episode is likely to appear before the completion of the
remainder of the episodes. The pilot will likely be titled
"Vampires of the Cursed Town" and deal with the
Ro-Tay-Yo. The pilot will be lacking elements compared to
the other episodes in the series and is mostly a sneak peak of the
general idea. The series will feature artwork from
user:diakujia.

The series will likely premiere this Memorial Day, Monday,
May 29th.

To celebrate the fifth birthday of cryptid wiki, we are
going to make a personality quiz and you can find out what cryptid
you would be!

To help out, submit a question that you think belongs on a
personality quiz! We want the final results to be as many cryptids
as possible to "personalize with each person" so your question
needs to be fairly vague to keep the mystery of the final result
alive! When you submit your question, please include the result for
each answer option. For example,
